WINDOWSHADE BRACKET.

Application filed August 31, 1920.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD A. REJSA, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Cedar Rapids, in the county of Linn and State of Iowa, have invented new and useful Improvements in Window-Shade Brackets, of which the following is a specilication.

The present invention has reference to a window shade supporting bracket.

The object is the provision of means for supporting a shade bracket directly upon the slidable sash in a window frame in a manner to permit of the shade being moved with the sash or raised or lowered on its spring influenced roller when the sash is in its elevated and stationary position.

A further object is the provision of window shade brackets which are attached directly to the upper sash of a window frame or casing, whereby the window may be lowered. for the ventilation of a room, the brackets having angle portions which extend over the side members of the window trim so that the shade not only covers the sash but also a part of the trim, thus protecting the privacy of the room in which the device is arranged.

The foregoing. and other objects which will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, may be accomplished by a construction, combination and arrangement of parts. such as'is disclosed in the drawings which accompany and form part of this application.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a view illustrating the application of the improvement.

Figure 2 is a sectionalv view approximately on the line 22 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of one of the brackets.

In the drawings, a window casing is indicated by the numeral 1, and the upper sash which is slidable therein, by the numeral 2. To the upper rail of the sash Q, or if. desired to the side members or stiles thereof, there are secured the inturned foot portions 3 of the improved brackets. From the angle foot portions the brackets are extended providing What I will term the side arms 4. These arms project a suitable distance beyond the inner face of the sash and the inner trim of the window casing.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patent-ed Aug. 8, 1922.

Serial No. 407,123.

Preferably the brackets are each constructed of a single strip of metal, and the arms 4, at the ends thereof are first bent outwardly in a line parallel to the inner or foot portions 3, and from thence bent angularly to provide vertical extensions 5. These extensions are bent, at their upper ends angularly and extended to provide the front portions or members 6. The front portions 6 may be of any desired length, such for instance as the thickness of the trim, and the front members, at their ends are bent at an outward angle in a line parallel, but of course, above the arms 4:. These last mentioned portions are indicated by the numeral 7, and are, at their ends preferably reinforced and provided one with a notch 8 and the other with an eye 9. The notch and eye are designed to engage with the pintles on the shade roller carrying the shade 10. The roller is spring influenced in the usual manner, and the shade 10 may be drawn over the roller or permitted to be wound thereon without necessitating the raising or lowering of the sash 2. It is. of course, apparent that when the sash 2 is raised or ldwered the shade will be likewise raised or lowered thereon.

The improvement is of an extremely simple construction and may be applied readily, and is, of course, susceptible to such changes and modifications as fall within the scope of what is claimed.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim, is

Brackets supporting a spring -wound shade directly on a window casing, each constructed from a single piece of metal having each an inner foot portion, an angle arm extending therefrom which at its outer end. is bent outwardly, and from thence angularly to provide a vertical extension, the said extension, at the end thereof being bent angularly upon itself to provide a front por' tion which is arranged in a line parallel to the foot but which projects in an opposite direction therefrom, said front having its end bent outwardly and formed with. a notch or opening to receive the pintle of the shade thereon.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

EDWARD A. REJSA.
